Aperçu

QDT has always served dental technicians with the best of the best work being done in the field. But technical artistry is only half of the equation, which is why QDT 2025 focuses on the whole picture of interdisciplinary dentistry, highlighting how clinician and technician work together to achieve predictable and esthetic outcomes. This year’s issue is stacked with several articles on FP1 prostheses and the digital workflows and procedures required for their planning and delivery, as well as multiple articles on minimally invasive laminate veneers and other topics relevant to daily practice, such as the fabrication of digital complete dentures, shade matching zirconia crowns, and managing the single central incisor. Throughout the issue, the latest technologies and their capabilities are emphasized, truly reflecting this era of digital dentistry while always relying on the foundation of manual skills and artistry, which can never fully be replaced by digital tools. With such a stellar group of contributing authors, this may just be the best issue of QDT yet.
